The Second Coming

Anyone see this? I ain´t religious but it was
class.....the first part of a 2 part dramatization of the
"What if..." scenario in tthe title... on Itv

This manchester bloke suddenly realises he is the son of
god, and , through the internet gets a few hundred people
to come to his local football stadium one night and
generates a shaft of daylight the width of the stadium to
prove himself. The worlds media catches on and he then
declares that us poor humans have really fucked up and have
5 days to sort it out "Why should I feed the worlds poor,
you are able to do it yourselves!..... so sort it out"
Thgis part ened with him in the poub with his mates asling
them to come round the world with him on his quest and
someone blows the pub up but he shileds everyone as they
finish their pints .. matrix style. Really good story but
without being holy-joeish!

Yup, it was really good, something of a pleasant surprise
considering it's on ITV.

I fucking missed it. I went round my mates and we forgot it
was on. We watched Empire strikes back instead! Got home and
it was just finishing. Saw that Pub bit and I was fucking,
no pun intended, blown away. Eccleston is a quality actor. I
hope there's an ITV2 repeat like they normally do.

I didn't watch it, I was taking online guitar lessons
instead. Interesting premise but I haven't watched a serious
ITV or BBC drama series/special.... well, ever. They're
usually complete cobblers

nah... this was quality stuff. Eccleson was such a great
choice for it and in a weird way it was very unreligios! Yer
man bascially tells the press..... ".. and i don´t want the
christtains saying how right they were. That means nothing
now.. its all bollox. Its time to get things right
now.....". Great stuff

Jesus is back - but this time he's pissed off.

Apparenty you can buy it on video or DVD or something from
17th Feb.

I enjoyed the second part, the conclusion of which really
gave me something to think about.

Well, just don't watch it while eating pasta and you'll be
fine.

I thought it was blasphemous rubbish. I've written to ITV to
make my incredulence known. It was almost as bad as that BBc
programme that claimed Our Lady was not a virgin, but was
raped by a Roman soldier.

I'm not entirely sure. Next time I speak to Nigella I'll ask
if rat poison is a normal constituent of pasta dishes.

anyone see the last part? bloody great ending i though.,...
really fuckinmg dark and ended up with MMY own take on
spirituality .. that we don´t fucking need anything other
than the human spirit to me a benevelont decent diverse
civilization, if only we put the effort in.

Yes- What would Jesus not do? ;)
Dr. Paige Marshall is great- one of my favourite literary
characters.

but if there is no god or jesus then the whole thing was
made up by the human spirit in the frst place =os

We're getting into one of those conversations again,
one with no answers.

good program though

If there is a jesus and he's coming back, I see it as being
like this.

yeah pOgO.. wasn´t it quite dark though? not a bible
bashing thing OR a religious-nut thing.... just a great
story and narrative driven show.. no preachyness or anything
just a simple.. "imagine it was like that....." .... i
can´t wait to hear what the critics say about it. See if
theres any bullshit nonsense about the writers motives etc
